The Better Life

wisdom's profit is better than silver and gold.

wisdom is better than jewels

better to be poor and content than to act rich and come to ruin

better to have just a little but respect God than to have much and endure the trouble of wealth

better a salad eaten with those who love you than a steak with with those who hate you

better to make a little and be righteous than to earn much through injustice

better to have little and share with the poor than to divide spoils with the proud

whoever is slow to anger is better than the might

whoever has self-control is better than a great conqueror

better a grain of rice in a quiet house than a buffet in a house full of strife

better to be poor but have your integrity than to be deceitful

the poor man is better than a liar

better to live in the desert than in a house with a quarrelsome woman (i don't write this stuff...)
